Only at Teneo · 3 of 4 · Gaps caught early
The only school that sees every learning gap the moment it appears
A report tells you what happened. The Smart School System™ uses real-time learning gap detection to help teachers act while there’s still time to help. Learners can message their teachers directly when they need help between lessons.
Direct teacher messaging, gap detection and personalised academic support are included with the three class options. Gap detection and personalised academic support are also available as a paid add-on with Without Classes.

Unparalleled educational experience.
The transition from a traditional private school setting to an online environment represented a significant decision. I am delighted to confirm that Teneo has, to date, provided an unparalleled educational experience.
Genuinely impressed
I am compelled to commend Teneo, I am genuinely impressed by the robust structure, professionalism, and unwavering dedication demonstrated by all the educators who have engaged with my children.
Great teachers & very supportive staff.
Great teachers, very supportive, & very supportive staff. We’ve been with TENEO since 2019 & are still very happy.
Tony KadamaTonyMost Improved
We are incredibly proud of our daughter’s progress at Teneo School... She is now more confident in asking questions, seeking guidance when needed and discussing her progress with (her teachers). One of the biggest motivators for her has been seeing her steady improvement on the Teneo leaderboard, which has inspired her to work even harder.
I would highly recommend Teneo Education to any parent
The level of care, encouragement, and commitment shown by the entire Teneo team has made a significant difference in Samantha’s educational journey. I can confidently say that I would highly recommend Teneo Education to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality learning environment for their child.
